The Adventures of Flat Stanley

Our granddaughter Brittanie sent us Flat Stanley in the mail.  Flat Stanley is a children's book about the adventures of a young boy who gets flattened by a bulletin board while he sleeps, but he's still alive.  The advantage of being flat is he can be sent to people all over the world and go on adventures with them.  We took Flat Stanley with us to see all sorts of places.


We took him to the National Archives where we volunteer.  He really got caught up in digitizing the records.

We took him to Burton Foods where they bake several different varieties of bisquits (cookies).

 We took him to our local library where he looked at all of the great chldren's books and watched kids playing games on the computers.




We took him to visit our local Primary School where he got to meet the teacher and take a tour.  He even got to have his picture taken with the class mascot!












He really enjoyed his trip to Stirling Castle--the Castle of the Kings.

His next big adventure was a train ride to downtown Edinburgh and a visit to the Edinburgh Castle.

 Just before Halloween he took a tour of Mary King's Close--an area below the streets of Edinburgh that's haunted and really spooky!
